How do we test your English grammar

The short English grammar test is a single placement test where we adaptively adjust the difficulty of grammar questions based on your previous answers. Questions are generated from the limited pool of questions of all proficiency levels and cover only English grammar and vocabulary. This placement test is provided free of charge.

For a more detailed assessment, you can take the core level tests where you get more grammar and vocabulary questions specific to each CEFR level. As a result, you get not only the English CEFR certificate but also the feedback about which three grammar topics you fail the most out of 16 grammar categories.
